Next generation current-source soft-switched PDM and PWM hybrid mode inverter for silent discharge ozone generating tube drive

In this paper, a current-source type parallel inductor compensated load resonant high-frequency soft switching inverter using IGBTs for driving the newly-produced silent discharge type ozone generating tube which incorporates a single switched capacitor resonant snubber in DC busline side is presented, together with its pulse modulated unique output power regulation characteristics.
